Come Follow Me for Teens: "God is My Salvation" (Isaiah 1-12)

This week’s episode studies Isaiah 1–12 and the theme “God is My Salvation.”

We begin with one of Isaiah’s most hopeful promises:

“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”

We’ll explore what this teaches about repentance, grace, and the power of Jesus Christ to help us begin again. Through Corianton’s story, teachings from President Jeffrey R. Holland and Elder Patrick Kearon, and a personal experience with repentance, we’ll talk about why our mistakes do not have to become our identity.

The Savior’s invitation is not, “Come after you have fixed everything.”

It is:

“Come now.”

Next, we look at some of Isaiah’s powerful names for Jesus Christ:

Immanuel. Counsellor. The Mighty God. The Everlasting Father. The Prince of Peace.

Each name teaches us something about who He is and what He can personally become in our lives.

We’ll also consider what it means to take His name upon ourselves and ask:

If I carry the name of Jesus Christ, what should that begin to change about the way I live?

Finally, Isaiah looks forward to a day when:

“They shall not hurt nor destroy … for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord.”

We’ll explore why knowing Jesus Christ more deeply should lead to greater peace in the way we treat others—and even in the way we treat ourselves after making mistakes.

Drawing on President Russell M. Nelson’s invitation to become peacemakers, the story of Chris Williams choosing forgiveness, and Brad Wilcox’s teaching from “Worthiness Is Not Flawlessness,” we’ll consider how the knowledge of the Prince of Peace can begin changing our hearts now.

Isaiah begins with scarlet.

But scarlet is not the end of the sentence.

Snow is.

And because of Jesus Christ, our worst chapter does not have to be the end of our story.
